Poetic Melodies By Nancy Lee Shrader

"Poetic Melodies" takes the familiar Haiku to a

new level. Each seventeen syllable haiku is able to

stand alone, but when joined with other haikus,

they tell a story, a truth, a rant or a tribute. You

will find 101 First Place HAIKU STRINGS and six

of these have placed FIRST a second time. Five of

the Haiku Strings have been featured in "All

Things Girl Magazine" and eight others have

received Titled Awards. Other Japanese forms

added to this collection are Senryu, Inversed

Haiku, and Hay (na) ku.
